I got the second one taken care of. Keep in mind you can change the window color to a number of options, so colored text readability will vary with that choice. In this case, however, I agree the purple name was unnecessary. This is usually reserved for named characters that you meet for the first time and even then there are two colors that are used, one for male and one for female. This usage didn't fit.

I can't find anything wrong in the Elbesem Church lines. I'm not even sure what I'm looking at in that shot. If it is a church line, there's more wrong with it than just gold not showing up. The closest match I can find for the situation you describe is this one:Reviving (name) requires a donation of (number) gold. Is that alright?But a number in the range of 10K shouldn't be happening.You'll have to elaborate a bit more on exactly how this came up.

Shouldn't make any difference that you are on a real Saturn, except for I might suggest making sure the Saturn isn't getting hot. If games freeze with any frequency on your particular Saturn, I might attribute oddities to overheating. If you have no such issues, we can continue to investigate.

Reviving (name) requires a donation of (number) gold. Is that alright?But a number in the range of 10K shouldn't be happening.You'll have to elaborate a bit more on exactly how this came up.

Sorry I should have been a bit more clear. you are correct that is exactly the issue and occurs as you described it. The number is correct also as my character has this much gold. Its a long story how I have this much gold, but since this is my first play through, I am missing all of the extra characters.

The issue came up after I first visited the church, and went to promote. This screenshot was after the first battle and I returned to revive some fallen people. I am actually working on getting the usb adapter so I can transfer the saved game. I just received notification that it shipped and will be happy to send you the saved game so you can see for yourself, if you like.

As far as my Sega Saturn it does not freeze up on me and is in perfect working order. In fact, it was sitting in the middle of my living room when it happened.

Here is a better picture of what is going on in the screen. You can see that it just says 22394 and above it nothing. The word "gold" is missing. It appears this is only a problem in Elbesem Village as it appears properly on the seagate. I also confirmed that this problem appears on SSF also.

For reference below is a picture aboard the Seagate at the same revive screen.

Try the new one I just uploaded to the same place. I put enders on all of those lines. This should cause you to need a button press to get past each line. We can also try a line break if you think that would work better.

This is weird, but I don't see these lines in the original files. That's why I didn't know what kind of end it needs. Those lines are just blank, so I guess they're not in the original...

If you have a save you could provide, that would be great. The save I have doesn't level anyone in that spot. That way I can do some testing.

At the beginning of chapter 3, when you enter Stump village, Campbell says, "-laugh- Syntesis may not like it, but continuing on tonight... Is not in the cards... Let's rest here."

I believe the phrase is "not on the cards."

Or perhaps that's just a UK thing? I've never heard anyone say "not in the cards".

EDIT

Also i've just noticed in the next bit of dialogue Goriate tells the force that he is looking for Gracia. However after the monks have left, Grantack says, "I'm not sure we can believe what Goriate told us... If it's true, why are they looking for Julian?"

"Not in the cards" is the correct phrase, although I'm not sure where it originates. Probably from tarot reading or something. Likewise I have never heard "not on the cards". If that is the accepted UK phrase then maybe we should use a different phrase.
